I'm sure some of you may have heard the news already. Katz Broadcasting signed a major deal with Nexstar Broadcasting, Mission Broadcasting and White Knight Broadcasting for Bounce TV, Laff, Grit and Escape.

At the moment, Ramar Communications has Laff and Escape on KMYL-LD, Raycom Media has Grit on KCBD-DT and DTV America has Bounce TV on KNKC-LD. I'm guessing when the contracts expire these will move over to KLBK and KAMC.

Nothing has been said at work about us picking up these digital networks. I'll talk with the engineers and see what I can find out.

Our chief engineer gave everyone a brief update during our recent employee meeting. He said equipment is on the way so we can add a .2 and .3 channel to the KLBK and KAMC signals. He said we're getting Bounce TV back, along with Laff, Grit and Escape. The plan is for them to be up and running around September 1. There was no mention as to which channel is getting which digital network.

Now the question is what will be happening to the KCBD 11.3, KMYL 14.2 & 14.3 and KNKC 29.5 channels? It would be nice to see Antenna TV, Cozi TV, Decades or Comet show up in Lubbock.

Thx for the update! I agree with your choice of new additions as well! I've watched them in other markets and would like to see them in Lubbock!

The last update was the diginets should be up by September 1, if not sooner. I still don't know if we're getting all four of them or just certain ones.

Our next monthly staff meeting is this afternoon. Hopefully the chief engineer will give us an update and I'll have more to share.

The diginets should be up on KAMC and KLBK on September 1, maybe a bit sooner. The general manager said we're getting all four diginets. Two will go on KLBK and two on KAMC. There was no mention as to which diginets are going on which station. We'll all have to wait and see.

Anybody in the Lubbock DMA using a TiVo Premiere or TiVo HD to record OTA channels 14-4, 22-4, 48-2 or 48-3?

Since TiVo switched from Tribune guide data to Rovi, these stations have lost all guide data, well not ALL guide data, TiVo thinks that virtual channels 48-* are on real channel 48 - that's where the guide data appears, but both of my TiVos find them on real channel 19.

14-4 and 22-4 are the same real channel, my Premiere sees 22-4 and my TiVo HD sees it as channel 14-4, both have been re-scanned, same result??

I have put in a report on the TiVo website but who knows when they will get it fixed.

DTV America finally pulled Bounce TV off KNKC-LD 29.5 and has replaced it with The Country Network. They must have changed it today because it was still Bounce TV yesterday.

Also an update on Grit. We were told it will move over to KLBK 13.3 when their contract is up with Raycom (KCBD) at a future date.

Thanks for the update on the Country Channel. Only problem is the sound is so distorted it is unlistenable.
Have you heard if Ramar is going to replace the channls that is being carried by 13 and 28? If so, what willreplace them if replaced?

I haven't heard anything on why Ramar is still carrying Laff and Escape on KMYL-LD. I guess they'll keep them on until their contract expires with Katz Broadcasting.

The main diginets we are still missing in Lubbock are Antenna TV, Cozi TV, Comet, Justice Network, Decades and Retro TV.

DTV America does has a construction permit for KDKW-LD 21 on the same tower as KNKC-LD 29 in Lubbock. It's suppose to be an affiliate of MundoMax. From what I'm reading, MundoMax is about to go under.

DTV America did sign on another station in Amarillo a while back (KAOU-LD) and it has Cozi TV on the lineup. I keep expecting to see it show up here in Lubbock. I was hoping they would replace Bounce TV with Cozi TV.

Today at 9:30 34-3 was showing as ION. There was not a picture, only the station info.

Thanks for the update Twobytwo!

I watch ION some when I visit my family out of state. Back in March they had all day marathons of Law & Order SVU, Criminal Minds and Blue Bloods. I think they run marathons of different shows each day.

BTW, you may have noticed the KNKC-LD stations are down right now. DTV America is based in Sunrise, Florida (Broward County). I'm guessing Hurricane Matthew must messed up their operations down there. The stations have been down since Thursday.

I just ran a rescan on both my televisions (8:30 p.m.) and 34-3 isn't showing up. They must have cut it off since this morning.

It's possible they were running a test. I wonder if they plan to replace either Laff or Escape on KMYL-LD with ION?

I know KASA in Albuquerque has ION on their X-3 channel and Ramar is about to take the station over. I hear Ramar runs all their stations out of the Lubbock hub. It's possible they accidentally mixed a signal up. I know a while back their MeTV Durango/Albuquerque (KRTN) was showing up in Lubbock on 48-4 for a few days.

I really hope we are getting ION!

I hope we get ION also. Im still getting the station id at 11:30 Saturday night. Maybe Ramar is going to replace ION with one of the Nexstar duplicates Thanks for the info on Ch 29 also.

I sent an email to DTV America late last week asking when KDKW-LD 21 will go to air. I also asked about them picking up Cozi TV and Comet in the future.

I got a reply Monday:
"Thank you for your email. We don’t have an exact launch date yet, but we have relationships with Cozi and Comet and will consider both for Lubbock when the time comes to build our second station."
